Nr Beaulieu Sur Dordogne - Set of 2 Town Houses with Superb Views Reviews Towards the Castle at Castelnau (Exclusive Mandate)

Located in a charming hilltop village above the market town of Beaulieu sur Dordogne. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a C12th & C19th character property with a feature 'pigeonnier' typical of the Quercy region.
There are 2 properties, one having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the other having one bedroom and a bathroom. Both properties are in reasonable condition, and immediately habitable, with wood burners as the principal source of heating. Plenty of character features including 'Cantou' fireplaces and exposed beams.
Outside, there is an atelier that has been used as an art studio, plus another spacious covered area, perfect for al-fresco dining, or just to relax. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, and have superb views to the south west and the well known Château Castelnau which is situated just outside Bretenoux.
The 2 bed property is built over a vast cave (not vaulted), that offers excellent storage space, and could equally be converted with some imagination. Exterior steps lead to a small balcony, and you enter into a hallway running the depth of the house. To the left is the kitchen / diner, with a 'Cantou' fireplace and a 'Souillard' area. Off this room is a laundry with WC. To the right of the hallway are 2 bedrooms, one to the front of the property and one to the rear. Both have en-suite shower rooms.
A staircase leads to the top floor, where there is scope for a master suite or perhaps 2 additional bedrooms.
The single bedroom property is accessed via the rear, directly into a hallway. To the right is a kitchen / dining room, and to the front of the property is a generous bedroom with a large bathroom (shower & bath), plus a seperate WC. A wooden staircase leads to the large open plan lounge / dining room with windows to the front and rear. There are several character features, including the immense fireplace and a stone sink. French doors open to the patio terrace. This area also has external stairs to the lower level.
The property is ideal for a family home and there is scope to extend the accommodation significantly if desired, by developing the roof space over the entire property. This is a very traditional village house, one part dates back to the C12th whilst the date above the door to the 'cave' or cellar is 1814 and above the front door reads 1874. Equally, it could be made into a single dwelling with a few modifications. The fosse septique is not in conformity, and the asking price reflects this.
Here you are only 5 minutes from the beautiful medieval town of Beaulieu sur Dordogne and within easy reach of many historic sites such as Rocamadour, Sarlat plus 6 “Plus Beaux Villages de France” within a 30 minutes drive. The River Dordogne is nearby and offers scope for fishing, canoeing and bathing. The local area is perfect for lovers of the outdoors – well known for cycling, walking, etc.
